Karin was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1968. After working in the restaurant industry for some years, most recently as a sommelier, she took leave of absence in 1998 to visit South Africa and learn more about South African wines. This was just four years after the first democratic election took place and the abolition of sanctions.
The six months' leave of absence has now become 12 years. In 2000, she met her future husband, who is of British descent. His family came to South Africa in 1820. They married in 2001 and in 2002 their son Liam was born. In 2003 she switched from the restaurant industry to the tourist industry and worked as a guide and project leader for Propel Africa, although her interest in food and wine was still as strong as ever.
At the same time she started working more and more actively as a volunteer with under privileged people.
In 2004 her daughter Leia was born. In 2007 she adopted her daughter Unathi, who was almost the same age as Leia, and they have now become a well-integrated, multicultural family. There is a close relationship with Unathis mother and 2 brothers. Zubenathi spends time with us from time to time.
Karin started A reaching hand project in 2006 and it has grown rapidly ever since.
